Now enhanced and updated based on extensive user feedback and a NEW, unparalleled research sample of more than 12,000 children, ASQ-3 is the most accurate, cost-effective, and parent-friendly way to identify children from birth to 5 years with developmental delays. The highly anticipated new edition of the screener professionals have trusted for more than 15 years, ASQ-3 offers more than any other screening system:

• Recommended by the experts. The American Academy of Neurology, the Child Neurology Society, and First Signs recommend ASQ as a high quality screener. ASQ is also highly rated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families.
  
  
• Accurate. Rigorous research with more than 12,000 children shows that ASQ-3 is reliable and valid with high levels of sensitivity and specificity, the two most important indicators of accuracy for a screener.
  
  
• Sensitive to autism. Retrospective research shows that ASQ accurately identifies children for further assessment who were later found to have autism.
  
  
• Captures parents' in-depth knowledge. Because ASQ-3 questionnaires are completed by the caregivers who know the child best, they get the most accurate results and save time, and parents become an integral part of the screening process.
  
  
• An invaluable parent education tool. With questionnaire items linked to developmental milestones, ASQ-3 helps teach parents about child development and their own child's skills.
  
  
• Strengths based. ASQ-3 questionnaires reveal a child's strengths as well as areas of concern, so it's easier to develop a rapport with parents and share results.
  
  
• Flexible screening anywhere. Parents can complete ASQ-3 questionnaires at home, in a waiting room, during a home visit, or as part of an in-person or phone interview—and later in 2009 they'll be able to do ASQ-3 online, too.
  
  
• Efficient. 2–3 minutes—that's all it takes to score ASQ-3 questionnaires after parents complete them. And unlike screeners that require more screening measures to clarify results, ASQ-3 saves time by collecting all the information needed from parents, quickly and easily.
  
  
• Cost effective. ASQ-3 questionnaires are a one-time purchase. A single site can photocopy or print them as needed from the paper and PDF masters.

ASQ-3 includes 21 questionnaires and scoring sheets (on paper and CD-ROM), the ASQ-3 User's Guide, and the ASQ-3 Quick-Start Guide.
